Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you. Stains and discoloration can make you feel self-conscious, even if your teeth are healthy. According to the Canadian Dental Association (CDA), many Canadians want a whiter smile to feel more confident in social and professional settings. The CDA recommends that you always consult with a dentist before using any teeth whitening products. A dental professional can determine the cause of the discoloration and the right approach for whitening your teeth.
Professional teeth whitening matters because it’s developed to be a controlled way to shine your teeth without damaging your enamel. There are a few ways to combat teeth stains. You can use whitening gums, toothpastes, and mouthwashes that contain mild abrasives to remove surface stains. They may have a subtle effect on the appearance of your teeth, but are referred to as surface whiteners because they are less effective. In contrast, teeth whitening treatments done at a dental office are considered a form of bleaching.
Whitening your teeth is more than cosmetic – it’s about restoring your confidence, helping you feel secure in social and professional settings, and motivating you to maintain better oral hygiene. A whiter smile can even encourage patients to brush, floss, and visit the dentist more regularly.
While teeth whitening itself is a cosmetic service, it’s closely tied to overall oral health. Many patients choose whitening after improving their dental hygiene, as clean and healthy teeth respond better to whitening treatments.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes the importance of good oral health, noting that poor oral health is linked to chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. The CDC notes that nearly half (42%) of all adults aged 30 years and older have periodontitis, and severe periodontitis affects about 8% of adults. Whitening can encourage patients to adopt better oral care habits, reducing plaque buildup and gum disease risk.

Some patients who use teeth whiteners may experience tooth sensitivity. This happens when the peroxide in the whitener gets through the enamel to the soft layer of dentin and irritates the tooth’s nerve. In most cases, this sensitivity is temporary. You can delay treatment and then try again. Overuse of whiteners can also damage the tooth enamel or gums, so be sure to follow the directions and talk to your dentist..
Teeth whitening is typically not covered by insurance. To confirm your specific benefits, we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly. We can provide you with an estimate of the costs, which you can then submit for potential reimbursement.
Surface Stains
Your teeth are protected by a layer of porous enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. However, its tiny pores can absorb stain-causing substances from dark drinks like tea, coffee, and wine, as well as from deeply pigmented foods like tomato sauce, berries, and cherries. Tobacco products and poor oral hygiene can also contribute to this discolouration.
Deep Stains
Below the enamel is the inner layer of your teeth, which naturally has a yellow or grayish tint. As we age, the enamel thins, revealing this deeper color and making teeth appear dull. Factors such as certain medications, illnesses, and injuries can also cause these deep stains.
